Will the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Part # AM3200 Fit a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Question:
Will 4 inch extension ball Work with the Anderson fifth wheel hitch
asked by: Jack
Expert Reply:
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter part # AM3200 is not compatible with any sort of adapter/extension. However, if you are concerned with turning clearance it does have a built-in offset that will allow you to use the hitch on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6-1/2' bed.
In order to use this hitch on your truck you will need a set of above bed base rails like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP50066-58. I have attached an install video of these base rails for you as well. Please note that if you have the factory puck system then this hitch will not work for you as it will require the use of an adapter to work with the factory pucks which as stated above, is not allowed for this hitch.
